In depth
Verdict
Dancing Mystery gets a narrow vote over Prime Recreation, Chatshow and Yomalo to name but three. Dancing Mystery has been a consistent sort on the all-weather and battled his way to another success when beating Fast Heart by a short-head here in March. He responded well to the blinkers and with the aids on again and a low draw to help his cause, Eric Wheeler's inmate is taken to follow up. Enterprising tactics nearly paid off for Prime Recreation at Folkestone last time, and ground conditions should suit, so he should at least make a race of it with his conqueror at the Kent track, Simpsons Mount, who has since been beaten at Goodwood. Chatshow was found wanting for speed on the slower Southwell fibresand when failing in a hat-trick bid last time, and has a seven-pound penalty to overcome, so bigger claims may be held by Yomalo, an ultra consistent mare late last year. She comes back fresh and is fancied to make the frame at least. In a fairly open contest, Dancing Mystery is the pick.
